    CM, you are breaking two Commandments, stop it, you might go the hell.
    12th: Thou shalt not ask questions like that of the Yes campaign.

    I know, they don't seem to like it at all. But with reps like Cox and Sutherland and lovely innocent and transparent organisations like Generation Yes and Bridget Laffan for Europe what do they have to fear?

    It's not like they have anything to hide, is it?

    The first Lisbon referendum was held last year and we within a week we knew there would be a second one. The questions asked in each of those referendums were also vastly different to eachother.
    Hence why I said by your logic.

    On their Website, Generation Yes state that they get no Government or EU funding and that funds come from donations from "supporters" - begs the question who exactly fall within the remit of "supporters"

    It's not secret.

    Shame he's not a eurosceptic himself though, isn't it.

    You really don't know what you're on about then, do you? The inevitability of Lisbon 2 was the reason he did what he did.

    You seem to have difficulty reading.

    Hence why I said by your logic.[/QUOTE]
    My logic has nothing to do with it. The facts are there. There was 19 years between the two referendums and the questions that were asked were vastly different.

    The situation we have at the moment is that there was less than a week when it became clear that we'd have another referendum and the question being asked is exactly the same as the last time.

    I never said that I had an issue with referendums. It's quite clear to most people that the issue here is the fact that the intention to have a second referendum on the same isssue so soon after the first. It's clearly a ridiculous state of affairs.

    Clearly your insults are as tragic as your reasons for voting No.
